The Best Music Cd Art + Design - Hardcover
A six-inch square isn't a lot of space to convey the essence of a seventy-four minute selection of hot jazz, smoking blues, or mainstream pop, let alone the raucous noise of the colorful, image-conscious "alternative" scene. Yet, a decade into the compact disc revolution, CD packaging design has evolved into a rich pop art medium. This book shows how designers of blues, jazz, and pop/rock CD artwork use the limited space in the booklet, jewel box, tray card, and disc itself to create images that complement the music and musicians.
In the pages of The Best Music CD art and Design, more than 300 full-color images showcase 200 CDs. Informative captions explain how the design fits the music; quotes from artists, designers, and record company art directors give further insight to the creative process. Surveying the best designs of the 1990s, this volume is sure to inspire CD designers for years to come.
